What Are Employment Agreements?

Employment agreements are legally binding contracts between an employer and an employee. They set out the terms and conditions of the employment relationship, including the duties and responsibilities of each party, the duration of the agreement, and any other relevant information. Employment agreements can be oral or written, but it is generally advisable to have a written agreement in place to avoid any misunderstandings. 

Although employment agreements are not required by law in all jurisdictions, they can be very helpful in clarifying the rights and obligations of both parties. In addition, if there is a dispute about the terms of the agreement, a court will typically give greater weight to a written agreement than an oral one. For these reasons, it is generally advisable for both employers and employees to seek legal advice before entering into an employment agreement.
